Restaurants
The food is amazing and the view from the deck is great no matter where you sit. Favorites are the Snapper Destin and the Bobo's burger. You can't go there and NOT have the hot feta dip with pita.
Music and decks are super nice and there are chairs and games for the kids to play on the beach.

Featured on the Food Network. Pub fare, large portions and nothing on the menu will disappoint. Best service in town and they brew their own beer and root beer! Get there early, late or go for lunch because the crowds can't stay away from this place.
Best prime steaks in town!
Famous for having around $2,000,000 of cash stapled all over the walls and the ceiling. McGuire's is a local and tourist favorite.

Our favorite for authentic Italian food. The venue is beautifully styled and the food matches the atmosphere. Try the manicotti with Alfredo, their brick oven pizza or the specialty pasta and meat dishes. Great wine and crafted cocktails.

Waterfront dining that we ALWAYS boat to rather than rive. It's in the neighborhood and has served as a favorite in the area for decades. The food is classic gulf coast flair with a little something extra. Super great for a date night by catching the Water Taxi for a romantic ride to dinner.
Too many good menu choices to mention.
